They were arrested at 9 Montcalm St. by narcotics detectives under the command of Sgt. Robert Tardiff, said Sgt. John M. Delaney, aide to Police Commissioner William J. Fitchet.

The three were charged with trafficking between 14 and 28 grams of cocaine, possession of oxycodone, ecstasy and marijuana, each with intent to distribute, conspiracy to violate drug laws, and violation of a drug-free school zone.

Delaney said the three had recently set up a drug-dealing operation in Indian Orchard.

Police confiscated a large amount of cocaine, some marijuana and an undisclosed amount of ecstasy and oxycodone pills. Police also seized $480 in cash, cell phones and packaging materials, he said.

For Michael Lowe, it was the second time in less than a week that he was arrested on drug charges by Springfield police, Delaney said.

On July 20, he nearly crashed his car into a parked police car at Carew and Newbury streets and then fled. When his car was stopped by police after a pursuit, Michael Lowe was charged with driving while intoxicated, driving with a revoked license and speeding.

He was also charged with possession of cocaine with intent to distribute after police searched his car and found some cocaine packaged for street sales.

At his district court arraignment last week, Michael Lowe pleaded innocent and was released after posting $500 personal surety, according to court records.

He pleaded innocent to the new charges at his arraignment Tuesday, but bail this time was set at $50,000 cash.

Gamble also pleaded innocent, and she was ordered held in lieu of $2,500 cash bail. Each is due back in court on Aug. 27.
